Sony ‘Zeus Z1’ “PlayStation Phone” Gets A Bit More Real On Video

The Sony PlayStation Phone has been rumored for some time now, and while Sony itself still is not saying anything about it, evidence has become pretty unsurmountable that it is real. The latest bit to come out to support the rumors is the video above (it doesn’t have sound, so you aren’t imagining things), and as far as we’re concerned there is no longer any room to say that this thing isn’t real. (course, that doesn’t mean it will actually be released, but we’re pretty sure it will be)

If anything surprises us, it’s the fact that it’s running Google’s Android operating system. One would have thought that Sony would have come up with its own OS, but we guess Android met their needs. Further information states that it has 512 MB of RAM and is sporting a 1 GHz Snapdragon processor. No word as of yet if this is running Android 2.2 Froyo or Android 2.3 Gingerbread, but our money is on 2.2 at this point in time, but it may be 2.3 by release time.

Is the world ready for a phone that is built so much around the concept of gaming? Yes, the iPhone has become of a bit of a gaming device, but it doesn’t go so far as to have a pop out controller. It will be interesting to see how people react to this concept.
